While looking for my new house, I am renting a place with NO garage. So I bought this "pop up garage" and its surprisingly very sturdy and works great. Still it is very sad, what do I win?

My garage isn't sad because of it's mess or dirt, it's just sad because it's so boring and plain...and small!

Dunno.. Looks like if you had max-jacks, you could pivot a third car sideways in the back. Say a 356 or early 911 ! it's almost a 3 car garage ;-)

My garage is actually pretty nice. It's nothing spectacular, but it's certainly not sad.

This photo is sad because it shows my Porsche as the fourth car in what is technically a three car garage. We had my parents staying with us while my father was dealing with some significant health problems. Our HOA doesn't allow for cars to be parked in the driveway for an extended period of time, so we put my parents' car in the third garage bay where my Porsche normally parks. It's a very tight squeeze, but I can get the Porsche in the the space between the wall by the stairs into the house, and the support column in the garage. It's sad because it takes a real effort to get the car in or out; it's not available for a spontaneous drive.

Fortunately, my father's health has improved and they have moved into their own place again. I have my garage back as of last Wednesday.

Ok, here's mine without the wife's suv. Basically, just a mess that with a little work, could be cleaned up and properly organized. It actually looks worse in person than in the photo. But a lot of boxes (some not visible) full of stuff that I actually still use like yard tools and cleaning supplies. Bunch of boxes in the left corner that are to be recycled. There's a fat bike in front of the 911 and I have 2 other bikes in the basement, a full susp. mtn bike and Trek P1 cycle (with custom green camo paint). The snow blower and lawn mower are due for a paint correction and protective film. The Duc is a 2006 999R that I've had for over 8 years now, longest vehicle I've ever owned.

Finally a worthy mess that makes me feel better about my space. Get the X51 power kit for the mower and blower!

The Ducatti is HOTTT

My garage is my gym now. I'm actually adding onto the house so I can relocate all the gym stuff (I have a lot of equipment - Nordic Track, multi-station system with center weight stack, sit up board, exercise bike, mat thing, etc) and thus open up the garage for the car. Pics to follow when the garage goes back to being a garage.
